The KORE3 Ø340mm C5/C6 Front Big-Brake Kit for the 1998-2005 RWD Blazer/Jimmy applications adapts high-performance, high-quality, 5th/6th (C5/C6) generation Corvette brake components to your ride. This is a common spindle swap for earlier generation S10/Blazer/Jimmy as well as the 1978-1988 G-body applications. Kits also compatible with the Belltech #2102 drop spindles.
C6 Z51 front components are a significant improvement over the original equipment brake packages. The C6 Z51 rotors measure Ø340mm x 32mm thick (Ø13.39" x 1.26") and provide higher brake torques and additional thermal mass for more aggressive, sustained driving.
C5/C6 front calipers are pressure cast aluminum with full width stiffening ribs in order to maximize caliper rigidity, extend service life, and improve pedal firmness and feel, all in a compact, lightweight package. The C6 calipers are interchangeable with the C5 calipers and are approximately 25% more rigid due to additional material across the bridge of the calipers. Both C5 and C6 calipers have twin-Ø40.5mm pistons and utilize a pad abutment design, where the braking torque is transmitted directly from the pads into the pad abutment brackets and the spindles they mount to, leading to better performance you can feel at the pedal.
